Instant random computer restarts
For 4 months, occasionally my computer randomly has been doing an instant reset—as in, I'm playing a game (or just sitting at the desktop), then my screen goes blank because the computer is booting up. This happens sometimes once/week, sometimes every few days, once, a couple times a day for a couple days. I use "shutdown.exe /f /t 0 /s" before going to sleep every night. The System Event log typically has DistributedCOM Warnings interspersed, and I think they usually are the last message(s) before the reboot. I also see a Kernel-PnP Warning prior, and in the past have seen an event indicating a PCIe bus error.
Because of seeing the bus error I first wanted to rule out hardware problems, so I have tried using a different motherboard and graphics card. The only things left are the CPU and memory and I have tested them with no errors. At this point, I have no clue what the cause is. In one setup I didn't even have the same storage devices. So all I know is that it is memory, cpu, bluetooth dongle, keyboard, mouse dongle, ethernet, or driver, and perhaps a storage device problem. I can't replicate the problem on demand. I have had the BSoD turned on rather than autoreboot, and today I got the BSoD, but last time I did not—it just instantly rebooted anyway.
I have enclosed a copy/paste of some debugger output that I ran on the full dump file.
I would greatly appreciate any help.
